Protoculture AddictsProtoculture Addicts is a North American anime and manga magazine, and also the name of the company that publishes it. The magazine Protoculture Addicts is one of the oldest anime and manga magazines in North America. Its name derives from the popularity of the Robotech cartoon series, and its deus ex machina, Protoculture. It was started as a Robotech fanzine. Although it is a North American publication, it covers many things about the state of anime and manga in France and the French-speaking world. This is because manga and anime are more readily available in Europe, and they started in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, a francophone region of Canada with a mixture of French and English speakers. The first issue, issue #0, was published in the fall of 1987, issue #1 officially launched the fanzine in the spring of 1988. It later became a standard commercial magazine.
